Memory Controller Hub (MCH) The MCH includes the host (CPU) interface, memory interface, ICH2 interface and 4xAGP interface for the 845 chipset. It contains advanced power management logic and supports three DIMMS for up to 2 GB of unbuffered DDR RAM. The AGP 2.0 interface supports 4x data transfers and operates at a peak bandwidth of 1056 GB. The MCH host (front side bus) interface bus runs at 400 MHz. I/O Controller Hub (ICH2) The ICH2 is the I/O Controller Hub subsystem on the P4SDA/P4SDM, which integrates many of the input/output functions of the 845 chipset, including a two-channel ATA100 Bus Master IDE controller. It also provides the interface to the PCI Bus and communicates with the MCH over a dedicated hub interface bus -- the AHA. The P4SDA+/P4SDM features the ICH2, which includes a dual channel IDE controller plus two USB controllers that offer 24 Mbps of bandwidth across four ports. ICH2 also features an enhanced AC97 interface that supports full surround sound for the Dolby Digital Audio used on DVDs. Firmware Hub (FWH) The FWH is a component that brings added security and manageability to the PC platform infrastructure. This device includes an integrated Random Number Generator (RNG) for stronger encryption, digital signing and security protocols. The FWH stores the system BIOS and video BIOS to eliminate a redundant nonvolatile memory component. 1-13 SUPER P4SDA+/P4SDM User’s Manual Recovery from AC Power Loss The BIOS provides a setting for you to determine how the system will respond when AC power is lost and then restored to the system. You can choose for the system to remain powered off (in which case you must hit the power switch to turn it back on) or for it to automatically return to a power on state. See the Power Lost Control setting in the BIOS chapter of this manual to change this setting. The default setting is Always OFF. 1-3 Special Features Communication and Networking Riser The CNR slot supports audio, modem and networking cards and provides interfaces that support multichannel audio, V.90 analog modems, home networking through a telephone line, 10/100 Ethernet-based networking and future technologies. Separating sound and communications systems from the motherboard makes them less sensitive to noise. 1-4 PC Health Monitoring This section describes the PC health monitoring features of the SUPER P4SDA+/P4SDM. Both have an onboard System Hardware Monitor chip that supports PC health monitoring. Onboard Voltage Monitors for the CPU Core, Chipset Voltage, +3.3V, +5V and ±12V The onboard voltage monitor will scan these voltages continuously. Once a voltage becomes unstable, it will give a warning or send an error message to the screen. Users can adjust the voltage thresholds to define the sensitivity of the voltage monitor. 1-14 Chapter 1: Introduction Three-Fan Status Monitor with Firmware/Software On/Off Control The PC health monitor can check the RPM status of the cooling fans. The onboard 3-pin CPU and chassis fans are controlled by the power management functions. The thermal fan is controlled by the overheat detection logic. Environmental Temperature Control The thermal control sensor monitors the CPU temperature in real time and will turn on the thermal control fan whenever the CPU temperature exceeds a user-defined threshold. The overheat circuitry runs independently from the CPU. It can continue to monitor for overheat conditions even when the CPU is in sleep mode. Once it detects that the CPU temperature is too high, it will automatically turn on the thermal control fan to prevent any overheat damage to the CPU. The onboard chassis thermal circuitry can monitor the overall system temperature and alert users when the chassis temperature is too high. CPU Fan Auto-Off in Sleep Mode The CPU fan activates when the power is turned on. It can be turned off when the CPU is in sleep mode. When in sleep mode, the CPU will not run at full power, thereby generating less heat. CPU Overheat LED and Control This feature is available when the user enables the CPU overheat warning function in the BIOS. This allows the user to define an overheat temperature. When this temperature is exceeded, both the overheat fan and the warning LED are turned on. System Resource Alert This feature is available when used with Intel's LANDesk Client Manager (optional). It is used to notify the user of certain system events. For example, if the system is running low on virtual memory and there is insufficient hard drive space for saving the data, you can be alerted of the potential problem. 1-15 SUPER P4SDA+/P4SDM User’s Manual Hardware BIOS Virus Protection The system BIOS is protected by hardware so that no virus can infect the BIOS area. The user can only change the BIOS content through the flash utility provided by Supermicro. This feature can prevent viruses from infecting the BIOS area and destroying valuable data. Auto-Switching Voltage Regulator for the CPU Core The 3-phase-switching voltage regulator for the CPU core can support up to 60A current and auto-sense voltage IDs ranging from 1.1V to 1.85V. This will allow the regulator to run cooler and thus make the system more stable. 1-5 ACPI/PC99 Features ACPI is an acronym for Advanced Configuration and Power Interface. The ACPI specification defines a flexible and abstract hardware interface that provides a standard way to integrate power management features throughout a PC system, including its hardware, operating system and application software. This enables the system to turn on and off peripherals such as CD-ROMs, network cards, hard disk drives and printers automatically. This also includes consumer devices connected to the PC such as VCRs, TVs, telephones and stereos. In addition to enabling operating system-directed power management, ACPI provides a generic system event mechanism for Plug and Play and an operating system-independent interface for configuration control. ACPI leverages the Plug and Play BIOS data structures while providing a processor architecture-independent implementation that is compatible with both Windows 98/2000 and Windows NT 4.0. Note: To utilize ACPI, you must reinstall Windows 98. To reinstall Windows 98 with ACPI, enter DOS and type "setup /p J" at the CDROM prompt (usually D:\) with the Windows 98 CD loaded. (Make sure you include the spaces after "setup" and "p".) Then press . You can check to see if ACPI has been properly installed by looking for it in the Device Manager, which is located in the Control Panel in Windows. Microsoft OnNow The OnNow design initiative is a comprehensive, system-wide approach to system and device power control. OnNow is a term for a PC that is always on but appears to be off and responds immediately to user or other re- 1-16 Chapter 1: Introduction quests. Slow Blinking LED for Suspend-State Indicator When the CPU goes into a suspend state, the chassis power LED will start blinking to indicate that the CPU is in suspend mode. When the user presses any key, the CPU will wake-up and the LED will automatically stop blinking and remain on. BIOS Support for USB Keyboard If the USB keyboard is the only keyboard in the system, it keyboard will function like a normal keyboard during system boot-up. Real Time Clock Wake-Up Alarm Although the PC may be perceived to be off when not in use, it is still capable of responding to preset wake-up events. In the BIOS, the user can set a timer to wake-up the system at a predetermined time. Main Switch Override Mechanism When an ATX power supply is used, the power button can function as a system suspend button. When the user depresses the power button, the system will enter a SoftOff state. The monitor will be suspended and the hard drive will spin down. Depressing the power button again will cause the whole system to wake-up. During the SoftOff state, the ATX power supply provides power to keep the required circuitry in the system alive. In case the system malfunctions and you want to turn off the power, just depress and hold the power button for 4 seconds. The power will turn off and no power will be provided to the motherboard. Wake-On-Ring Header Wake-up events can be triggered by a device such as the external modem ringing when the system is in the SoftOff state. Note that external modem ring-on can only be used with an ATX 2.01 (or above) compliant power supply. 1-17 SUPER P4SDA+/P4SDM User’s Manual Wake-On-LAN (WOL) Wake-On-LAN is defined as the ability of a management application to remotely power up a computer that is powered off. Remote PC setup, updates and asset tracking can occur after hours and on weekends so that daily LAN traffic is kept to a minimum and users are not interrupted. The motherboards have a 3-pin header (WOL) to connect to the 3-pin header on a Network Interface Card (NIC) that has WOL capability. Wake-On-LAN must be enabled in BIOS. Note that Wake-On-Lan can only be used with an ATX 2.01 (or above) compliant power supply. 1-6 Power Supply As with all computer products, a stable power source is necessary for proper and reliable operation. It is even more important for processors that have high CPU clock rates of 1.4+ GHz. The SUPER P4SDA+/P4SDM accommodates 12V ATX power supplies. Although most power supplies generally meet the specifications required by the CPU, some are inadequate. It is strongly recommended that you use a high quality power supply that meets 12V ATX power supply Specification 1.1 or above. Additionally, in areas where noisy power transmission is present, you may choose to install a line filter to shield the computer from noise. It is recommended that you also install a power surge protector to help avoid problems caused by power surges. 1-7 Super I/O The disk drive adapter functions of the Super I/O chip include a floppy disk drive controller that is compatible with industry standard 82077/765, a data separator, write pre-compensation circuitry, decode logic, data rate selection, a clock generator, drive interface control logic and interrupt and DMA logic. The wide range of functions integrated onto the Super I/O greatly reduces the number of components required for interfacing with floppy disk drives. The Super I/O supports four 360 K, 720 K, 1.2 M, 1.44 M or 2.88 M disk drives and data transfer rates of 250 Kb/s, 500 Kb/s or 1 Mb/s. 1-18 Chapter 1: Introduction It also provides two high-speed, 16550 compatible serial communication ports (UARTs), one of which supports serial infrared communication. Each UART includes a 16-byte send/receive FIFO, a programmable baud rate generator, complete modem control capability and a processor interrupt system. Both UARTs provide legacy speed with baud rate of up to 115.2 Kbps as well as an advanced speed with baud rates of 250 K, 500 K, or 1 Mb/s, which support higher speed modems. The Super I/O provides functions that comply with ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface), which includes support of legacy and ACPI power management through a SMI or SCI function pin. It also features auto power management to reduce power consumption. The IRQs, DMAs and I/O space resources of the Super I/O can be flexibly adjusted to meet ISA PnP requirements, which suppport ACPI and APM (Advanced Power Management). 1-19 SUPER P4SDA+/P4SDM User’s Manual Notes 1-20 Chapter 2: Installation Chapter 2 Installation 2-1 Static-Sensitive Devices Electric Static Discharge (ESD) can damage electronic components. To prevent damage to your system board, it is important to handle it very carefully. The following measures are generally sufficient to protect your equipment from ESD. Precautions • Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge. • Touch a grounded metal object before removing the board from the antistatic bag. • Handle the board by its edges only; do not touch its components, peripheral chips, memory modules or gold contacts. • When handling chips or modules, avoid touching their pins. • Put the motherboard and peripherals back into their antistatic bags when not in use. • For grounding purposes, make sure your computer chassis provides excellent conductivity between the power supply, the case, the mounting fasteners and the motherboard. Unpacking The motherboard is shipped in antistatic packaging to avoid static damage. When unpacking the board, make sure the person handling it is static protected. Installation Procedures Follow the procedures below for the installation of the motherboard and the system: 1. Installing the processor and the heat sink. 2. Installing the motherboard in the chassis. 3. Installing the memory and add-on cards. 4. Finally, installing the cables and drivers. 2-1 SUPER P4SDA+/P4SDM User's Manual 2-2 Processor and Heatsink Fan Installation ! When handling the processor package, avoid placing direct pressure on the label area of the fan. IMPORTANT: Always connect the power cord last and always remove it before adding, removing or changing any hardware components. Make sure that you install the processor into the CPU socket before you install the CPU heatsink. Installation of the Processor and Heatsink 1. Locate the following components, which are included in the shipping package. Clips (2) Bracket (1) Note: The CPU heatsink fan with clips is included only with the retail versions of the P4SDA+ and P4SDM. If you buy a boxed Intel Pentium 4 478/ Northwood processor, it should include a heatsink, fan and retention mechanism. If you buy a processor separately, use only a Supermicro or Intel certified heatsink and fan. 2. Insert the white pegs into the black anchors.

AGP Pro/4xAGP Slot (1.5V only) The AGP Pro slot is backward compatible with AGP Pro and 4xAGP graphics cards, which have fewer pins than AGP Pro cards. Because of this, care must be taken when installing a graphics card into this slot, as doing so incorrectly can damage your motherboard. For AGP Pro cards, you should remove the orange sticker covering one end of the slot. For other cards, leave this sticker in place and make sure your card does not plug into the section it covers. A general rule of thumb is to make sure your card fills the center section of pins first, then the end toward the edge of the motherboard if there are more. If the I/O shield of your card is flush with the edge of the motherboard, the card should be inserted correctly. 2-18 Chapter 2: Installation 2-9 Installing Software Drivers After all the hardware has been installed, you must install, first of all, the operating system, and then, the software drivers. The necessary drivers are all included on the Supermicro CD that came packaged with your motherboard. After inserting this CD into your CDROM drive, the display shown in Figure 2-5 should appear. (If this display does not appear, click on the My Computer icon and then on the icon representing your CDROM drive. Finally, double click on the S "Setup" icon.) Figure 2-5.

If you have followed all of the procedures below and still need assistance, refer to the ‘Technical Support Procedures’ and/or ‘Returning Merchandise for Service’ section(s) in this chapter. Note: Always disconnect the power cord before adding, changing or installing any hardware components. Before Power On 1. Make sure no short circuits exist between the motherboard and chassis. 2. Disconnect all ribbon/wire cables from the motherboard, including those for the keyboard and mouse. 3. Remove all add-on cards. 4. Install a CPU (making sure it is fully seated) and connect the chassis speaker and the power LED to the motherboard. (Check all jumper settings as well.) No Power 1. Make sure no short circuits exist between the motherboard and the chassis. 2. Verify that all jumpers are set to their default positions. 3. Check that the 115V/230V switch on the power supply is properly set. 4. Turn the power switch on and off to test the system. 5. The battery on your motherboard may be old. Check to verify that it still supplies ~3VDC. If it does not, replace it with a new one. No Video 1. If the power is on but you have no video, remove all the add-on cards and cables. 2. Use the speaker to determine if any beep codes exist. Refer to Appendix A for details on beep codes. 3-1 SUPER P4SDA+/P4SDM User's Manual NOTE If you are a system integrator, VAR or OEM, a POST diagnostics card is recommended. For I/O port 80h codes, refer to App. B. Memory Errors 1. Make sure the DIMM modules are properly and fully installed. 2. Determine if different speeds of DIMMs have been installed and verify that the BIOS setup is configured for the fastest speed of memory used. It is recommended to use the same memory speed for all DIMMs in the system. See Section 2-4 for memory limitations. 3. Check for bad DIMM modules or slots by swapping modules between slots and noting the results. 4. Check the power supply voltage 115V/230V switch. Losing the System’s Setup Configuration 1. Check the setting of jumper JBT1. Ensure that you are using a high quality power supply. A poor quality power supply may cause the system to lose the CMOS setup information. Refer to Section 1-6 for details on recommended power supplies. 2. The battery on your motherboard may be old. Check to verify that it still supplies ~3VDC. If it does not, replace it with a new one. 3. If the above steps do not fix the Setup Configuration problem, contact your vendor for repairs. 3-2 Technical Support Procedures Before contacting Technical Support, please take the following steps. Also, note that as a motherboard manufacturer, Supermicro does not sell directly to end-users, so it is best to first check with your distributor or reseller for troubleshooting services. They should know of any possible problem(s) with the specific system configuration that was sold to you. 1. Please go through the ‘Troubleshooting Procedures’ and 'Frequently Asked Questions' (FAQs) sections in this chapter or see the FAQs on our web site (http://www.supermicro.com/techsupport.htm) before contacting 3-2 Chapter 3: Troubleshooting Technical Support. 2. BIOS upgrades can be downloaded from our web site at http://www.supermicro.com/techsupport/download.htm. Note: Not all BIOS can be flashed depending on the modifications to the boot block code. 3. If you still cannot resolve the problem, include the following information when contacting Supermicro for technical support: • Motherboard model and PCB revision number • BIOS release date/version (this can be seen on the initial display when your system first boots up) •System configuration An example of a Technical Support form is on our web site at http://www.supermicro.com/techsupport/contact_support.htm. 4. Distributors: For immediate assistance, please have your account number ready when placing a call to our technical support department. We can be reached by e-mail at [email protected] or by fax at (408) 503-8019. 3-3 Frequently Asked Questions Question: What are the various types of memory that the P4SDA+/ P4SDM motherboard can support? Answer: The P4SDA+/P4SDM has three 184-pin DDR (double data rate) DIMM slots that support up to 2 GB of PC1600 and PC2100 DDR SDRAM. ECC memory and Parity Checking are supported. Important: See Section 2-4 on rules to observe when installing DDR memory modules. Question: How do I update my BIOS? Answer: It is recommended that you not upgrade your BIOS if you are not experiencing problems with your system. Updated BIOS files are located on our web site at http://www.supermicro.com. Please check our BIOS warning message and the information on how to update your BIOS on our web site. Also, check the current BIOS revision and make sure it is newer than your current BIOS before downloading. Select your mainboard model and download the BIOS file to your computer. Unzip the BIOS update file and you will find the readme.txt (flash instructions), the awdflash.exe (BIOS flash utility) and the BIOS image (xxxx.bin) files. Copy these files onto a bootable floppy and reboot your system. It is not necessary to set the BIOS 3-3 SUPER P4SDA+/P4SDM User's Manual boot block protection jumpers on the mainboard. At the DOS prompt upon rebooting, enter the command "awdflash." Then type in the BIOS file that you want to update (xxxx.bin). Question: After flashing the BIOS my system does not have video. How can I correct this? Answer: If the system does not have video after flashing your new BIOS, it indicates that the flashing procedure failed. To remedy this, first clear CMOS per the instructions in this manual and retry the BIOS flashing procedure. If you still do not have video, please use the following BIOS Recovery Procedure. First, make sure the JPWAKE jumper is disabled. Then, turn your system off and place the floppy disk with the saved BIOS image file (see above FAQ) in drive A. Press and hold and at the same time, then turn on the power keeping these keys pressed until your floppy drive starts reading. Your screen will remain blank until the BIOS program is done. If the system reboots correctly, then the recovery was successful. The BIOS Recovery Procedure will not update the boot block in your BIOS. Question: What's in the CD that came with my motherboard? Answer: The supplied compact disc has quite a few drivers and programs that will greatly enhance your system. We recommend that you review the CD and install the applications you need. Applications on the CD include 850 chipset drivers for Windows and security and audio drivers. Question: Why can't I turn off the power using the momentary power on/off switch? Answer: The instant power off function is controlled in BIOS by the Power Button Mode setting. When the On/Off feature is enabled, the motherboard will have instant off capabilities as long as the BIOS has control of the system. When the Standby or Suspend feature is enabled or when the BIOS is not in control such as during memory count (the first screen that appears when the system is turned on), the momentary on/off switch must be held for more than four seconds to shut down the system. This feature is required to implement the ACPI features on the motherboard. 3-4 Chapter 3: Troubleshooting Question: I see some of my PCI devices sharing IRQs, but the system seems to be fine. Is this correct or not? Answer: Some PCI Bus Mastering devices can share IRQs without performance penalties. These devices are designed to work correctly while sharing IRQs. See Table 3-1, below, for details on shared IRQs. Table 3-1.

What should I do? Answer: Go to , , , and then . Under the Properties tab, scroll down the list of devices in the menu and check the box beside "Microphone". Question: How do I connect the ATA100/66 cable to my IDE device(s)? Answer: The 80-wire/40-pin high-density ATA100/66 IDE cable that came with your system has two connectors to support two drives. This special cable must be used to take advantage of the speed the ATA100/66 technology offers. Connect the blue connector to the onboard IDE header and the other connector(s) to your hard drive(s). Consult the documentation that came with your disk drive for details on actual jumper locations and settings. 3-5 SUPER P4SDA+/P4SDM User's Manual 3-4 Returning Merchandise for Service A receipt or copy of your invoice marked with the date of purchase is required before any warranty service will be rendered.

The Award ROM BIOS is stored in a Flash chip and can be easily upgraded using a floppy disk-based program. Note: Due to periodic changes to the BIOS, some settings may have been added or deleted and might not yet be recorded in this manual. Refer to the Manual Download area of our web site for any changes to BIOS that are not reflected in this manual. System BIOS The BIOS is the Basic Input Output System used in all IBM® PC, XT™, AT® , and PS/2® compatible computers. The AwardBIOS Flash chip stores the system parameters, such as amount of memory, type of disk drives and video displays, etc. CMOS requires very little power. When the computer is turned off, a back-up battery provides power to the BIOS Flash chip, enabling it to retain the system parameters. Each time the computer is powered-on, the computer is then configured with the values stored in the BIOS ROM by the system BIOS, which gains control when the computer is powered on. How To Change the Configuration Data The CMOS information that determines the system parameters may be changed by entering the BIOS Setup utility. This Setup utility can be accessed by pressing at the appropriate time during system boot. Starting the Setup Utility Normally, the only visible POST (Power On Self Test) routine is the memory test. As the memory is being tested, press the key to enter the main menu of the BIOS Setup utility. From the main menu, you can access the other setup screens, such as the Chipset and Power menus. Section 43 gives detailed descriptions of each parameter setting in the Setup utility. 4-1 SUPER P4SDA+/P4SDM User's Manual 4-2 Running Setup *Optimal default settings are in bold text unless otherwise noted. The BIOS setup options described in this section are selected by choosing the appropriate text from the Main BIOS Setup screen.

If an error is found and a correction is needed, the BIOS will activate an alarm or display a message. If a message is displayed, it will be accompanied by the following: PRESS F1 TO CONTINUE, CTRL-ALT-ESC OR DEL TO ENTER SETUP POST Beep Codes Currently, there are two kinds of beep codes used in AwardBIOS. One code indicates that a video error has occurred and that the BIOS cannot initialize the video screen to display any additional information. This beep code consists of a single long beep followed by two short beeps. The other code indicates that a Rambus error has occurred. This beep code consists of a single long beep that sounds repeatedly. Error Messages One or more of the following messages may be displayed if the BIOS detects an error during the POST. This list includes messages for both the ISA and the EISA BIOS. CMOS BATTERY HAS FAILED CMOS CHECKSUM ERROR The CMOS hecksum is incorrect. This can indicate that CMOS has been corrupted. This error may have been caused by a weak battery. Check the battery and replace if necessary. DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER No boot device was found. This could mean that either a boot drive was not detected or the drive does not contain the proper system boot files. Insert a system disk into Drive A: and press . If you assumed the system would boot from the hard drive, make sure the controller is inserted correctly and all cables are properly attached. Also make sure the disk has been formatted as a boot device. Then reboot the system. A-1 APPENDIX A The CMOS battery is no longer functional. It should be replaced. SUPER P4SDA+/P4SDM User’s Manual DISKETTE DRIVES OR TYPES MISMATCH ERROR - RUN SETUP The type of diskette drive installed in the system is different from the CMOS definition. Run Setup to reconfigure the drive type correctly. DISPLAY SWITCH IS SET INCORRECTLY The display switch on the motherboard can be set to either monochrome or color. This indicates that the switch is set to a different setting than indicated in Setup. Determine which setting is correct, and then either turn off the system and change the jumper or enter Setup and change the VIDEO selection. DISPLAY TYPE HAS CHANGED SINCE LAST BOOT Since last powering off the system, the display adapter has been changed. You must configure the system for the new display type. ERROR ENCOUNTERED INITIALIZING HARD DRIVE The hard drive cannot be initialized. Be sure the adapter is installed correctly and all cables are correctly and firmly attached. Also be sure the correct hard drive type is selected in Setup. ERROR INITIALIZING HARD DISK CONTROLLER Cannot initialize the controller. Make sure the cord is correctly and firmly installed in the bus. Be sure the correct hard drive type is selected in Setup. Also check to see if any jumper needs to be set correctly on the hard drive. FLOPPY DISK CNTRLR ERROR OR NO CNTRLR PRESENT Cannot find or initialize the floppy drive controller. Make sure the controller is installed correctly and firmly. If there are no floppy drives installed, be sure the Diskette Drive selection in Setup is set to NONE. KEYBOARD ERROR OR NO KEYBOARD PRESENT Cannot initialize the keyboard. Make sure the keyboard is attached correctly and no keys are being pressed during boot up. If you are intentionally configuring the system without a keyboard, set the error halt condition in Setup to HALT ON ALL, BUT KEYBOARD. This will cause the BIOS to ignore the missing keyboard and continue the boot. A-2 Appendix A: AwardBIOS POST Messages Memory Address Error at ...
